Sharp makes a good unit. Gravity feed works good because when you are out of paint there is no spitting unlike the conventional suction feed guns. I haven't personally sprayed with a gravity feed gun so I cannot comment. Typically HVLP guns use a lot of CFM's of air which requires a large compressor, but the newer ones they are coming out with use less and less. I was on the job yesterday and was working with the new DeVilbiss HVLP spraying High Solids Polyurethane on Case/New Holland hoods and they came out great.
